Thirty students and three advisors will be spending the week of non-student days in February, preparing and showing the livestock that were born at the Perris High School farm over the summer.

The students and advisors will be camping at the fairgrounds. The total cost for students and advisors to camp at the fairgrounds is approximately $100 per person. Students will be doing fundraising to pay for their expenses.
Funding: The cost for this item is funded through the PHS Perkins Fund and FFA ASB Livestock Account.
